Dear fellow Sierra Club members,

John Jeavons, organic gardening/mini-farming expert and author of "How to Grow More Vegetables (Than You Ever Thought Possible on Less Land Than You Can Imagine)" is an expert on truly sustainable agriculture.  His work is being promoted and taught here in Iowa by Billy & Dawn Hunter of Aurora Community Farm in Jefferson County, where they give biointensive growing workshops throughout the year and have a year-long apprenticeship program.  John was profiled on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle's Home & Garden Section on April 13.  It's a great story, here's the Web link:

You can reach the Hunters at 641-472-9941 or via email at [log in to unmask] if you want more information on biointensive & biodynamic farming in Iowa and the Midwest.

Enjoy,

Patrick Bosold
